Christmas Decorations... The Plan of Attack
This is our first year with an actual house to decorate for Christmas. We want to keep it simple but still thought-out & decorated (and we wanted to avoid scaling the house). Here's my plan of attack:
-Attic: lighted star of some sort inside attic window
-Lamp Post: wrap garland; red bow
-Front Door: white tinsel wreath
-Front Porch: spiral columns with garland & white C9 or C7s (no leds!); drape said garland from top of columns to porch light; add red bow
-Yard: line with staked white C9s or C7s- spiral/curl them in when they reach the top of stairs (not pictured)
I'm excited. Minimal lights. Easy to install (I think). Cute. Nothing inflatable or cheesy. My Grandma & Aunt are visiting us for Thanskgiving, so my Aunt Deb & I might go pick up some of this tomorrow after the washer/dryer are delivered (yay!). This year Christmas decorating really snuck up on me.... hope you guys are all gonna be decked out for the holidays! :P
How To... Fix Up a Critter Cage!
So, many of you probably know of our high-maintenance, adorable chinchilla Skitch. "The Boo" as we like to call him, is a very social fellow, and so he has a smaller cage in our gameroom/studio- that way he can hang out with us if we're down there. Remember the basement/studio? Where I just did all that painting and zig zagging? Well guess how great a cheesy plastic rodent cage looks amid my thought-out design....
